Pre Invitation to the Taiwanese Wedding

Dear Friends,

As you may know, Jo and I got officially married on Oct 11th, 2006 in the court building in Taichung. But as you also may know, marriage in Taiwan does not become 'really' real until you can celebrate it with friends, associates, aquaintences, family and any other wedding crashers that come along to eat drink and be merry.

To that end, we are planning a reception on Feb 3rd, 2007 at lunch time (12:00) and hope that you will be able to join us in a fun and relaxing celebration where the food is good, the scenery is excellent and the company is grand.....

We are going to have a buffet luncheon at the Xia Fei Hot Spring Resort in Da Keng mountain area (info below) in Taichung County. Jo & I recently went to another good friend's wedding near there and liked the scenery and ambiance, so we tried to find another similar place (thanx Sean and Alice!). A hot spring resort sounds like a weird place to hold a wedding reception, but when you go there, you will know why we picked it. Plus, after the reception, we will try to get a few rooms/areas for the hot springs and relax in style.

Anyway, Jo and I sincerely wish you to be a part of our special day and hope to see you there.

Now, this email is a pre-invitation. We will still issue out 'official' invitations but wanted to give some people the heads up a little bit before. So, if you can, at some point, please reply back once you know if you can attend or not. However, we will also send you an invitation and you can reply back then as well.

Best wishes,

Jeff & Jo
